Preparing disadvantaged youth for
the workforce of tomorrow
Germany's Digital Opportunities Foundation has published
Preparing Disadvantaged Youth for the Workforce of Tomorrow.
Based on a conference co-hosted by the Benton Foundation
in November 2002; the report examines strategies to engage
underserved youth populations to help them develop 21st
century skills. The Jacobs Foundation, the William T.
Grant Foundation and the AOL Time Warner Foundation make
the report possible, with additional support from Benton's
Digital Divide Network, the European Commission and the
W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The report's text is published
in both German and English.

India leads in Internet multimedia
kiosks
Research conducted by Digital Partners shows that India
leads other countries and regions in the development and
use of Internet kiosks, particularly in e-government initiatives
and commercial projects. The report, entitled "ICT
Kiosks: A Comparative Study," attempts to identify
best practices among various kiosk business models in
India, Latin America and Africa. One reason for India's
success is the wide availability of technically skilled
workers; the report found that support and maintenance
of equipment is one of the biggest sustainability issues,
particularly for kiosks located in rural areas. Another
issue is uncertainty about the role of government. In
Africa, it was found that government support is critical,
as market forces alone could not bring service to the
less profitable rural areas. In Latin America, commercial
Internet centers are a healthy business, but they don't
often succeed in reaching the poor.

happens to be one of those games that's easier to
play than it is to explain. You play as the red
diamonds, and your goal is to take over the board
by leaping into the spaces adjacent to your opponent's
watery globules.
